TOPLINE: Facebook and Twitter have labeled half of President Donald Trump’s posts since Election Day because he repeatedly and falsely declared victory and cast doubt on legal votes counted after Election Day.
KEY FACTS: Of Trump’s 22 posts on Facebook and Twitter, not including retweets or videos, 11 have been labeled by the social media giants.
The flagged posts include erroneous claims to victory before races have been officially called and false assertions that the election is fraudulent.
Twitter has hidden posts from view and warned “some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process,” and restricted the ability to like or retweet.
We’ll be updating this story all night with state results for one of the most chaotic elections in modern American history – check back for the latest.
Electoral vote count: Biden 223, Trump 145
Trump took the first major battleground as the AP called Florida for him at 12:35 a.m. – the Sunshine State was a must-win state for Trump, but Biden’s campaign took pains on Tuesday to stress the Democratic candidate has several paths to victory without it.
Biden was projected to win Minnesota at 12:13 a.m. – a target state for Trump, who lost there by just 1.5 points in 2016 – while Trump was forecast to take Montana and Iowa, reach states for Biden but ones that were possible for him to win on a good night.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) floated a baseless conspiracy theory Tuesday night that media networks deliberately are holding back from calling the race in Florida for President Trump because they want to suppress the vote in other swing states—a wild claim that was quickly picked up by the Trump campaign.
By 11 p.m. EDT, major television networks had yet to call Florida for President Trump, prompting some members of the Trump campaign to cry foul even as the results remained close, and anchors reminded viewers it was difficult to project states with speed due to the large influx of mail ballots.
“It’s over,” Rubio argued on Twitter, “So why won’t they call the race?”
The Florida senator went on to claim the networks had held back from calling Florida “to deny Trump an early swing state” before polls closed in Arizona and Nevada—suggesting the media networks had refrained from making the call deliberately to suppress the Trump vote.
Republicans are looking to hold on to their delicate three-seat majority in the Senate on Tuesday, and the balance of power could come down to just one or two races—here are the latest results:
Colorado: Popular former governor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper knocked off Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), the Associated Press projects, handing Democrats their first Senate pickup of the night in a race they saw as crucial to taking back the majority.
South Carolina: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) survived a challenge from Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison, the Associated Press projects, in what amounts to the most expensive Senate loss in U.S. history after Harrison raised a record $57 million in the third quarter and more than $130 million overall.
Arizona: Democrats are strongly favored to pick up a seat in Arizona, where former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly is challenging Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), who has campaigned heavily as a Trump loyalist.

Britain has warned that it will take strong action against China if it brings Hong Kong under national security law. On Monday, within 24 hours of the British Foreign Secretary’s warning, Beijing counter-threatened to London.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that if Britain took such a step, it would be forced to launch a counter-attack. Beijing has warned Britain not to allow colonial influence in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, the international community is also vocal against the Chinese government’s move to bring Hong Kong under national security law. At the forefront of this rhetoric is Trump-led America. Britain has also strongly opposed China’s law.
Hong Kong was once a British colony. British Foreign Secretary Dominic Robb, speaking in Parliament on Monday, told Beijing: “If China wants to impose national security law on Hong Kong, the prisoner exchange agreement with Hong Kong will be suspended immediately. At the same time, sanctions may be imposed. “
Rabb said the prisoner exchange could be halted if clear and strong defenses were not provided. Rabb also expressed concern that China’s national security law could be abused.
Britain’s comments seem to have added fuel to the fire. In response, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “China will be forced to retaliate against any wrongdoing by the United Kingdom.”
“China is urging the United Kingdom not to imagine colonial influence in Hong Kong and to correct its mistakes quickly,” he warned.
Hong Kong has long been a British colonial. Occupied by China in 1997. Countries such as Australia and Canada have suspended a prisoner exchange agreement with Hong Kong over the same issue this month. The United States has suspended certain financial transactions with Hong Kong.
If all classes at US universities are taken online in fear of the coronavirus, international students will be expelled after their arrest if they do not comply with the order to leave the US immediately. That announcement has been challenged by two world-renowned educational institutions in Boston, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Boston on July 8, seeks a stay of the Trump administration’s July 8 order. The lawsuit alleges that the visa ban was imposed and that instructions not to allow those waiting for the new school year to begin in early September were “absolutely illegal.”
The defendant in this case is the Homeland Security Department. The Immigration Department is under this department. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has said it will enforce the rules at the behest of the Trump administration. They have also been challenged. An application for a temporary ban of at least 14 days has been filed in the filed case. According to the petition filed by the two educational institutions, they have been abiding by all the rules and regulations of the federal administration since the beginning of the Corona violence last March. It also did not say whether international students would have to leave the United States or whether anyone would re-enter the September course.
Noted that, All of educational institutions have the policy support in this case. Stakeholders also think there could be a few more lawsuits against the Trump administration soon.
Global and regional initiatives in addition to tackling corona in the country, US 50,000 grant to the International Fund for Vaccine Innovation, five proposals to the world to tackle the post-COVID-19 situation

Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina did not stop at taking initiative only in the country to fight coronavirus. He has also been praised for global and regional initiatives. In the meantime, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bangladesh has also taken a leading role in the international initiative to invent the corona vaccine. Bangladesh has announced to donate 50,000 US dollars to the ‘Global Citizen’ fund.
Besides, Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is also working to create funds for South Asian countries to deal with the economic adverse effects of coronavirus.
In the midst of the deadly coronavirus, another fatal disaster, Cyclone Amphan, had to deal with the situation with a strong hand. In such a situation, the national and international initiatives of Bangabandhu Kanya are being appreciated in many countries of the world. In an article titled ‘Fighting Cyclones and Coronavirus: How We Evacuated During a Pandemic’ in the British daily The Guardian on June 3, Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina wrote. We can teach others to deal with similar dangers. At the World Economic Forum in April, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina wrote a five-point proposal to the world to tackle the Corona outbreak, writing, “The world is fighting against an unknown and unseen enemy today. This enemy has no boundaries, no class. The most unfortunate thing is that this enemy is showing the flaws of our management. In such a situation, we will be able to win the war against this Kavid-19 not by being isolated, but by cooperating with each other. ’ The world’s most popular Forbes magazine has named Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as one of the most successful women leaders in tackling corona.
Sheikh Hasina’s five proposals to the world: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given five proposals to the World Economic Forum against Corona. One of the five proposals made by the Prime Minister is to ‘think anew to eliminate inequality’. In the proposal, the Prime Minister said, “Poverty and inequality will increase very fast in this society we know.”
In the last decade, we have been able to lift half of our poor people out of poverty. Many of them will return to poverty again. People will fall into the trap of debt. Eighty-five percent of our people are employed in the informal sector. Our SME (loan system) is hurting badly. This situation is not very different from other countries in South Asia or countries in Africa.
And that’s why everyone in the world should think about how to make people better now. We need to think about how to tackle inequality, help the poor, and take our economy to the pre-COVID (before COVID 19 infection) stage. In his second proposal, he said, “Strong global leadership like the G-7, G-20, and OECD is needed.”
The Prime Minister wrote in his explanation that multilateral management led by the United Nations must come forward. In this case, I am referring to Professor Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum’s Infectious Diseases as the focus of the Global Risk Report 2020. The plight of the global health sector is highlighted here. And that is why the formation of forums like the Quid Action Platform and the Regional Action Group is the right move at this time. I believe that in addition to this, as an additional initiative, in collaboration with other important organizations such as the United Nations, the next plan of COVID-19 should be decided.
“We have to come up with new business rules,” she said in a statement. “We have already seen changes in the world’s business, workplace, and manufacturing systems,” he said. And with the end of this COVID era, new rules and practices of business will begin. In the meantime, we have seen that many global organizations in the supply chain are not behaving responsibly. I think the privileged group of capitalism is running an experiment through this.
And countries like Bangladesh need to adopt new plans and management to keep pace with these issues. “We have to work together out of a sense of global responsibility,” he said in the fourth proposal. Referring to the issue of migrant workers here, he said that migrant workers are contributing from the forefront in the way of income of rich countries. But suddenly a difficult situation has arisen for these workers. They are even losing their jobs. Due to this, the economy of South Asia is also at risk. And that’s why we have to work together out of a sense of global responsibility. In the context of Bangladesh, we have not run away from our sense of responsibility. You may be aware that the largest refugee camp in the world is currently in our country. And our ‘COVID-19’ war plan has been made with these 11 lakh Rohingyas.
In her latest proposal, Sheikh Hasina said, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) will help prepare for the future.” There, he said, Bangladesh has become a champion in economic digitization under our ‘A2I’ program through new innovations in the last decade. And even in the midst of this epidemic, we have used a number of technological tools, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile tracking, to detect infections. And as we prepare for the future, we first need innovative solutions to problems. Innovative solutions are needed, especially in the areas of health, education, agriculture, and the supply chain. The use of technology will become very important in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And in such a situation, the World Economic Forum can play a very important role.
Bangladesh announces US 50,000 for Vaccine Innovation Fund: Bangladesh has announced 50,000 for the Global Citizen Fund for the vaccine innovation of COVID-19. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh is happy to announce the provision of US ৫০ 50,000 for safe and effective vaccine innovation and easy availability. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has provided this money to address the COVID-19 of marginalized communities and to ensure health care on the basis of fairness and equality. Bangladesh announced the funding at the ‘Global Goal: Unit for Our Future – The Summit’ organized by the European Commission and Global Citizen to raise additional funds for the development of coronavirus vaccines, tests, and treatment.
Foreign Minister.AK Abdul Momen said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been leading the way in tackling the unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic. He said that Bangladesh was committed to its responsibility in the international arena to overcome this calamity and at the same time expected Bangladesh to act responsibly from other partners. Momen added, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh has always attached importance to the principles of equality, justice, and national ownership.” This is the effort of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to ensure that those who need this service the most get it and no one is left out. Bangladesh has provided this assistance with the aim of providing services to all the people of the world on the basis of equality.
